Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
Rowan Atkinson is a genius. I prefer his work in Blackadder more b/c it's more the banter and such, Bean is great but more of his physical side. he's one of the most broadly skilled comedians IMO in all of British humor. he can do the intellectual English stuff and the physical stuff just as easy.
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
There are several ties regarding the average scores in which Casablanca would be tied for seventh. I suspect that voting is at least somewhat impacted by generational influences. Personally, I'm turned off by the glut of superhero offerings out there with which the difference with 100% animation is thin. I can suspend my disbelief to a point but give me a reason to stay engaged. Lord of the Rings, for example, accomplishes the task quite well IMO because the human element dominates. I don't rate movies I haven't seen so I don't impact their ratings at all.
Cool as a rule, but sometimes bad is bad.

Recent DVD viewings:
--Thank You For Your Service: good but dark and really highlights how lacking our system of assisting veterans truly is.
--Only The Brave: Really good movie. Any day I get to look at Jennifer Connelly is a good day, but good movie, too. Josh Brolin, Jeff Bridges, Miles Teller all very good in this.
--Darkest Hour: Saw it in the theater and liked it. Holds up on re-watching IMHO.
Also saw George Harrison: Living In The Material World on Netflix. Scorsese documentary on Harrison's life. Really well done and a good discussion of all he did after the Beatles break-up, including his solo career, the Wilburys and his contributions to Monty Python and starting his own film production company. A really interesting guy, arguably the most interesting of all the Beatles.U really think players are going to duke without being paid over Kentucky?--Gilbert Arenas, 9/12/19

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
I did a search on Netflix for westerns and found a few but most listed weren't westerns as we know it if at all. Longmire is a good series but more of a modern western. If you haven't seen Bone Tomahawk, that's a good one but with a twist. Not on Netflix but The Hateful Eight and 3:10 to Yuma are both pretty good.

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
I've seen 3:10 To Yuma, but that was when it came out. I could watch it again and it would probably be like the first time again lol
Not heard of Bone Tomahawk, and had forgotten about the Hateful Eight. I've seen Longmire on there, but no one I know watches it, so I might give it a try (modern might be good).
thanks

Netflix actually has an original Western series starring Michelle Dockery (from Downton Abbey, believe it or not) called "Godless." I haven't seen it but it looks interesting.

There's a website called What's on Netflix that provides what is coming to Netflix and what is leaving soon as well. I don't use it much but it can come in handy.

I may have posted this before but M. Night Shyamalan will be merging Bruce Willis' Unbreakable with James McAvoy's Split to complete the trilogy on Jan. 18, 2019. If you haven't seen both of them you'll want to do so between now and then. It's not often this kind of quality comes along.

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
Likely depend on what you mean by "sexual assault". In that era leering at a pretty girl or even slapping her behind wasn't assault. Today it is. If one was looking up her skirt or put their hand up her skirt etc. that wouldn't shock me in that era either, and that's obviously not acceptable even then, but it's not the same in my use of the word as "assault". Should get the crap beaten out of you IMO, and back then that's how it was handled. Boyfriend/husband beat you up.
Given the nature of morality in Hollywood I'm sure this metoo thing is the very tip of the iceberg and that it was a LOT worse back then when studio execs and the power brokers had even more power over careers.
There have also been conflicting reports about their behavior generally, some saying it wasn't anything out of the ordinary for a movie environment (which probably means it was Caligula) and some saying it was insane and a huge problem. Probably was insane by our midwestern standards and probably not the worse Hollywood had seen by their standards. Their on location debauchery is legendary.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
I started Longmire. It is not bad. It moves a little slow but that is ok. I've been looking for a show to watch during the slower times and this is probably a good one for that. Will take me a while to finish the way I watch TV but that is what I was looking for.

Re: All Things Video Thread (Movie or TV)
There's a show on BBC America called Killing Eve that's pretty good. IMdB has it with an 8.7 rating. It's 4 weeks into the season but if you get BBCA you can record what you've missed. Here's the link to the schedule: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7016936...ref_=tt_wbr_tv
It's about a female assassin in Europe who's about as cold-hearted as it gets and being tracked by a MI:5 agent who is also female and wanting a change of pace. I've enjoyed the first 4 eps and have found the plot approach kind of refreshing.Last edited by badrose; 05-06-2018 at 06:15 PM.

I would advise scheduling your recording starting next Sunday at 7AM and get them all at once and in order.
